Oftentimes, people wonder “can you sue for faulty medical equipment associated with defective medical devices, and the answer is an emphatic yes.
There are many laws on the books, federal laws, state laws, that make it very difficult to hold manufacturers of devices responsible for defective products.
I’ll just say this, the tea leaves have got to read just right in order for that situation to result in a lawsuit that you can take to the jury.
But that’s why you have lawyers. It’s our job to look through and pick through the facts, patterns, and details to be able to tell you whether or not your particular circumstance is one where you can get accountability and recovery.

Most of our physician-attorneys are either current or past treating doctors in, collectively, a wide range of medical specialties. There is a good chance one or more of our physician attorneys have actually treated medical conditions similar to the ones from which you or your loved one now suffers. That translates into care and understanding as your Counselors, and know-how as your Advocates.
Any honest medical malpractice attorney will tell you that one of the greatest expenses in a medical malpractice case is having to pay physician experts to study the details of the medical issues in your case and, if necessary, provide testimony at deposition and trial. While even our physician attorneys may also need to hire outside medical experts for your case, our medical know-how allows us to perform a significant amount of the medical analysis necessary for your case in-house which may translate into significant savings at the conclusion of your case.
Because we have in-house medical know-how, we can evaluate the medical questions in your case and provide answers without a lengthy wait. Our internal process involves getting the issues in your case quickly in front of the right physician attorney who, based on his or her medical experience and training, is most likely to have the answers you seek about whether you have a case and how we might help you get the compensation you deserve to help secure a brighter future for you and for your loved ones.
